It says 'proclaim liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof.' Leviticus 25, verse 10." Newcombe explained, "The Liberty Bell has only one thing on it other than who made it, and that is a Bible verse. It made freedom the cornerstone of America, as shown by the words on the Liberty Bell. It's the people themselves deciding what laws they're going to pass and agreeing to submit to them." Instead of top-down – rule by these kings who kept getting more and more powerful – it's bottom-up. In "The Pilgrims," William Federer, author of "America's God & Country," says of the Mayflower Compact, "It was a polarity change in world government.
"The Pilgrims gave us the Mayflower Compact, which was an agreement for self-government under God, which really was the first step in the creation ultimately of the Declaration of Independence and of the US Constitution," Newcombe asserted. He continues, "You see the seeds of liberty – both religious liberty and civil liberty – and the idea of self-government and rule from within, all these are within that body of Pilgrims."Īnd after unexpected winds blew them off-course away from any governing authority, they made a covenant between God and man for a new form of government.ĭeclaration & Constitution: Descendants of the Mayflower Compact But the most precious cargo that was carried across the Atlantic were the ideas in the hearts of the Pilgrims that were drawn from the Bible," Jehle says in "The Pilgrims." They'd come to believe in radical ideas they found in the Bible: like they had rights given by God, and that He wanted them to be free, to govern themselves from within.

"The Pilgrims founded America for all intents and purposes," argues Prager U founder Dennis Prager in the documentary. In Newcombe's documentary, Pilgrim reenactor Leo Martin, founder of Plymouth's Jenney Museum, asks, "Did you know today that 10 percent of the population of the United States are Mayflower descendants? 30 million people from 51." "This small, small group casts a very large shadow," Newcombe told CBN News.ģ0 Million Americans Descended from the Mayflower Pilgrims "The Pilgrims" looks at how those 51 surviving Pilgrims not only lived through their first brutal Massachusetts winter but went on to influence their future nation. It's a great milestone in human history," said Christian historian Jerry Newcombe, producer of the documentary, " The Pilgrims." "2020 is the 400th anniversary of the founding of Plymouth. And the Pilgrims' covenant with God and man in 1620 and the form of self-rule they pioneered would eventually shape America's Constitution and the entire government. They made the Bible America's most-read guide to life. They believed religious freedom and liberty were worth dying for. The Pilgrims didn't just give America Thanksgiving celebrations.
